Send Flowers to Munich, Germany

Munich pairs big-city careers with a village feel, and Bavarians take celebrations seriously. Flowers travel to the art nouveau apartments of Schwabing and the student streets of Maxvorstadt near the two big universities, LMU and TUM, to family homes in Bogenhausen, Nymphenburg and Solln, and to the lively courtyards of Haidhausen, the Glockenbach quarter and Sendling. The Bavarian capital is also home to engineers and researchers from all over the world working for carmakers, insurers and technology firms, which explains how many bouquets are ordered from overseas.

A local florist prepares each order by hand, often with the kind of seasonal stems you see on the Viktualienmarkt: ranunculus and tulips after the long winter, peonies in early summer, dahlias and autumn foliage around Oktoberfest time. Winters are cold and snow is common, so drivers avoid leaving arrangements outdoors, and a working phone number for the recipient matters.

Flower delivery in Munich is next-day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight German time. Sundays are excluded. Bavaria observes more public holidays than most German states, among them Epiphany on 6 January, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day, when shops close, so glance at the calendar on the order page before choosing a date. For Mother's Day, which falls on the second Sunday of May, book the Saturday.
